Remove competitive dueling level requirement

[Rotem]

Should we do it?

What it would do is open up the system for a ton of players and while I could argue that they're not on equal grounds there'd be a bunch of level 600s who refuse to level up that can probably fight just as well.

We already ignore enchanted items so it doesn't really matter as much. You'd gain and lose Elo and be paired accordingly in theory if there's enough duels going on you'd have to be stronger, the low leveled players would occupy the lower tiers where higher levels would perhaps climb to ranks higher than what we see today.

[Vengeful Kyo]

Considering all the ranks there are and how only a select few even got to bronze, it'd probably be best to open it up. Levels and StatPoints aren't the only factor in dueling but skill. For example : Justin was level 1 and able to defeat quite a number of people some of who were capped. It'd help boost some people and make the MatchMaking even more interesting and further the enhancement of some peoples dueling abilities.

Maybe you could make it so people who aren't capped are. but they don't have the Sp boosts

I may be weird but I don't really understand what you wrote.

[Traxicous]

I think he means those lower level would have their stats temporarily boosted to as if they were level 650 without spending stat points. Just for matchmaking

[matthewhagerman]

Yea what bran said

[Skystone]

meh, seems fine to me.

[Rotem]

No, we're not doing it right now for enchanted items and leveling should definitely have an impact -somewhere-.

It isn't just a flat out skill based system, there's a bit of work required and I'm not rewarding the level 1 who just logged in. In fact, thinking about it now removing the level requirement sort of ruins it when it comes to alt farming so this idea is gonna be dropped.

And i'd be in queue at the same time.

Personally would rather it be just lower requirement, like level 500.

I did make sure leveling is super easier now via monsters so there's really little to no complaining required I suppose.
